years ago knew man who gratifed
his every passion. His wife, Chris-

reform, rightly pointing out to him
that his vicious career was bound to
bring him to an untimely grave. Her
advice he Indignantly rejected, declar-
ing time and again that he had no wish
to lead correct life. Upon his DEATH
bed he rallied at the clergyman his
wife induced to visit him. And thus,
with bitterness, he passed into the
Great Beyond, an oath on his lips and
scorn of decency in his heart.
'He left three sons behind him. In
spite of their mothers prayers and
tears each son followed his fathers
blighted example Like their father,

He declares that if he knew of any
vice into which he has not plunged he
would straightway test it. He has

her die of grief for his depravity.
Nothing affects him. He is as indif-

will decorate the gallows.
